Want Recommendation for Family Photographer

An absolutely amazing photographer in Tacoma is Willow Eskridge. http://www.willowsphotography.com She isn't the least expensive in town, but well worth every cent you pay. I have worked with her for two years now (she does our family photos and I do her website).

She takes her time, has a first meeting to get to know you and is just an all around great lady to be around.

The budget route is great if you need quick and cheap photos, but my advice it to go the expensive route at least once. The quality and experience are something that you'll take with you forever.

Other photographers that I know and are also good are Angie at http://www.angiedphotography.com/ and Carla at http://www.amomentintimebycarla.blogspot.com/. Also both great ladies. All three styles are very different, but all three women are fantastic.

I don't know a photographer that goes to location, although I am sure there are many. We had good luck at Penney's at the mall with our extended family of 10.
I completely understand the need to get professional pics and snapshots. My husband deploys soon as well so we've been doing the same thing.

Hi...I have a cousin who does photography, she's been doing my 11 month old daughter Lindsey's pictures every month and I love her work...here's a website link

Good luck in your search! N.

A friend of mine does absolutely beautiful pictures. Her name is Keeley and here's her website if you want to check it out. I'm not sure what your budget is, but I'd highly recommend her. http://www.keeleykay.com/index2.php
If you're looking to go the budget route, we've had some pretty nice pictures taken from JCPenney in Olympia, too.
